Through two abbreviated seasons, Arizona junior guard Allonzo Trier has shown flashes of what he’s capable of doing. On Friday
he made it clear he plans to treat 2017-18 like his coming out party.

Trier scored a career-best 32 points in the third-ranked Wildcats’ 101-67 win over Northern Arizona in their season opener.
His previous best of 28 came in a February home win over UCLA.

The 6’5” Trier—who is a
preseason AP All-American—averaged a team-best 17.2 points per game last season but missed Arizona’s first 18 games because of an NCAA suspension for
a failed drug test. He averaged 14.8 points as a freshman in 27 games, missing seven contests with a broken hand.

Trier was 10-of-13 from the field, making both three-point attempts and 10-of-11 foul shots and added 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
Arizona also got a career-high 20 points from senior center Dusan Ristic and 19 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks from 7’1”
freshman forward DeAndre Ayton in his college debut.

The Wildcats, which shot 59.6 percent, had just eight scholarship players because of injury, suspension or NCAA transfer rules.
